Yeah unfortunately they are tricky to get rid of once you have them. In theory I can forward the email from one account to another, but in practice it's hard to think through all the weird security issues that might arise from doing so.

I've got one I made as a teen, a more professional sounding mature address, one for school, two for two separate google apps domains, and one for work. They pile up over time.

I have made a lot of accounts in a 5 year period:

- main account, used for anything — made in 2018

- secondary account

- personal account for 2021

- personal account for 2024

- account for parental controls

- throwaway account with random numbers and letters

- throwaway account with a purpose

- account for using on VMs

- account to share with my friend

- account for my brother
